A clock output terminal and a data output terminal of the maincontrol circuit 107 are coupled to a clock input terminal and a datainput terminal of potential regulation circuit 108. A first detectionterminal and a second detection terminal of the voltage detectioncircuit 110 are coupled to a direct current output terminal of thecurrent detection circuit 109 and a negative output terminal of outputfilter circuit 104 respectively. A first output terminal and a secondoutput terminal of the voltage detection circuit 110 are coupled to afirst voltage detection terminal and a second voltage detection terminalof the main control circuit 107 respectively. An input terminal of theoutput switch circuit 111 is coupled to the direct current outputterminal of the current detection circuit 109.

The negative outputterminal of the output filter circuit 104, the output terminal of outputswitch circuit 111, the first communication terminal and the secondcommunication terminal of the main control circuit 107 are all coupledto the communication interface 10 of power adapter 100.

When the power adapter 100 is charging the battery 201 after it ispowered on or reset, the main control circuit 107 controls the outputswitch circuit 111 to switch off a direct current output of the poweradapter 100, the voltage detection circuit 110 detects an output voltageof the power adapter 100 and feeds back a voltage detection signal tomain control circuit 107, and the main control circuit 107determineswhether the output voltage of the power adapter 100 is greater than avoltage threshold (e.g., 2V) according to the voltage detection signal.If the output voltage of the power adapter 100 is greater than thevoltage threshold, the main control circuit 107 continues to judge theoutput voltage of power adapter 100; if the output voltage of the poweradapter 100 is not greater than the voltage threshold, the main controlcircuit 107 controls the output switch circuit 111 to switch on thedirect current output of the power adapter 100, and drives the voltagetracking and control circuit 105 through the potential regulationcircuit 108 to set the output voltage of isolation transformer 103 as aconventional output voltage (e.g., 5.1V); the current detection circuit109 detects an output current of the power adapter 100 and feeds back acurrent detection signal to the main control circuit 107. When the maincontrol circuit 107 determines, according to the current detectionsignal, that the output current of the power adapter 100 is within aconventional current range for a preset time interval, the main controlcircuit 107 performs a quick charge inquiry communication with theelectronic device 200. After the electronic device 200 sends a quickcharge command to the main control circuit 107, the main control circuit107, according to the battery voltage information fed back by electronicdevice 200, drives the voltage tracking and control circuit 105 throughpotential regulation circuit 108 to adjust the output voltage of theisolation transformer 103. If the output voltage of the power adapter100 meets the voltage requirement for quick charge predefined byelectronic device 200, the main control circuit 107 drives the voltagetracking and control circuit 105 through potential regulation circuit108 to adjust the output voltage of isolation transformer 103, so thatthe power adapter 100 outputs direct current according to a quick chargecurrent value (4 A) and a quick charge voltage value (3.4V˜4.8V).

Specifically, when the power adapter 100 is charging the battery 201after it is powered on or reset, the current detection circuit 109continues to detect the output current of the power adapter 100 and feedback the current detection signal to the main control circuit 107 if theoutput current value of the power adapter 100 is less than a lowercurrent limit (e.g., 1 A); the main control circuit 107 controls theoutput switch circuit 111 to switch off the direct current output of thepower adapter 100 for short-circuit protection if the output currentvalue of power adapter 100 is greater than an upper current limit (e.g.,4 A).

During the above-mentioned quick charge inquiry communication betweenthe main control circuit 107 and the electronic device 200, the maincontrol circuit 107 sends a quick charge inquiry command to theelectronic device 200, the electronic device 200 judges whether thevoltage of battery 201 reaches the quick charge voltage value accordingto the quick charge inquiry command, if yes, feeds back the quick chargecommand to the main control circuit 107, and if no, feeds back a quickcharge rejecting command to the main control circuit 107.

In the above mentioned process in which the main control circuit 107,according to the battery voltage information fed back by electronicdevice 200, drives the voltage tracking and control circuit 105 throughthe potential regulation circuit 108 to adjust the output voltage of theisolation transformer 103, the main control circuit 107 sends a requestfor obtaining a battery voltage to the electronic device 200 accordingto the quick charge command sent by electronic device 200, theelectronic device 200 feeds back the battery voltage information to themain control circuit 107 according to the request for obtaining thebattery voltage. According to the battery voltage information, the maincontrol circuit 107 drives the voltage tracking and control circuit 105through the potential regulation circuit 108 to adjust the outputvoltage of the isolation transformer 103 to the above predefined quickcharge voltage.

If the output voltage of power adapter 100 meets the voltage requirementfor quick charge predefined by the electronic device 200 (i.e., falls ina rated range of quick charge voltage or equal to a rated quick chargevoltage), the main control circuit 107 drives the voltage tracking andcontrol circuit 105 through the potential regulation circuit 108 toadjust the output voltage of the isolation transformer 103 as follows,so that the power adapter 100 outputs direct current according to thequick charge current value and the quick charge voltage value.

The main control circuit 107 performs the quick charge inquirycommunication with the electronic device 200. The main control circuit107 feeds back the output voltage information to the electronic device200; when the output voltage of power adapter 100 falls in the ratedrange of quick charge voltage or equals to the rated quick chargevoltage, the electronic device 200 determines that the output voltage ofpower adapter 100 meets the voltage requirement for quick chargepredefined by the electronic device 200, and feeds back a command forstarting the quick charge mode to the main control circuit 107;according to the command for starting the quick charge mode, the maincontrol circuit 107 drives the voltage tracking and control circuit 105through the potential regulation circuit 108 to adjust the outputvoltage of the isolation transformer 103, so that the power adapter 100outputs direct current according to the quick charge current value andthe quick charge voltage value. Further, when the output voltage ofpower adapter 100 does not meet the voltage requirement for quick chargepredefined by the charging control circuit 2 (i.e., falls out of therated range of quick charge voltage or not equal to the rated quickcharge voltage), the electronic device 200 sends a voltage bias feedbacksignal to the main control circuit 107; according to the voltage biasfeedback signal, the main control circuit 107 drives the voltagetracking and control circuit 105 through the potential regulationcircuit 108 to adjust the output voltage of the isolation transformer103, and then continues to perform the quick charge inquirycommunication with the electronic device 200. Specifically, the voltagebias feedback signal includes a low-voltage feedback signal and ahigh-voltage feedback signal. If the voltage is lower, the main controlcircuit 107, according to the low-voltage feedback signal, drives thevoltage tracking and control circuit 105 through the potentialregulation circuit 108 to raise the output voltage of the isolationtransformer 103; if the voltage is higher, the main control circuit 107,according to the high-voltage feedback signal, drives the voltagetracking and control circuit 105 through the potential regulationcircuit 108 to lower the output voltage of the isolation transformer103.

Further, as mentioned above, according to the command for starting thequick charge mode, the main control circuit 107 drives the voltagetracking and control circuit 105 through the potential regulationcircuit 108 to adjust the output voltage of the isolation transformer103, so that the power adapter 100 outputs direct current according tothe quick charge current value and the quick charge voltage value. Thedetailed process is as follows.

The main control circuit 107 drives the voltage tracking and controlcircuit 105 through the potential regulation circuit 108 to adjust theoutput voltage of the isolation transformer 103, such that the outputcurrent and the output voltage of power adapter 100 are adjusted to thequick charge current value (e.g., 4 A) and the quick charge voltagevalue (e.g., any value ranging from 3.4V to 4.8V) respectively. The maincontrol circuit 107 obtains the battery voltage information from theelectronic device 200, and determines, according to the voltagedetection signal fed back by the voltage detection circuit 110, whetherthe difference between the output voltage of the power adapter 100 andthe battery voltage exceeds a voltage difference threshold (e.g., 0.8V),if yes, it indicates that the line impedance between the power adapter100 and the electronic device 200 or between the power adapter 100 andthe battery 201 is abnormal, and the main control circuit 107 controlsthe output switch circuit 111 to switch off the direct current output ofadapter 100; if no, the main control circuit 107, according to thebattery voltage information, drives the voltage tracking and controlcircuit 105 through the potential regulation circuit 108 to adjust theoutput voltage of the isolation transformer 103, so as to adjust theoutput current of the power adapter 100, and continues to obtain thebattery voltage information from the charging control circuit 300 so asto make cyclical adjustment to the output current of power adapter 100during quick charge to the battery 201. In this way, the process ofquick charge to the battery 201 can be optimized and the charging timeis reduced.

Moreover, the main control circuit 107 drives the voltage tracking andcontrol circuit 105 through the potential regulation circuit 108 toadjust the output voltage of the isolation transformer 103 so that thepower adapter 100 outputs direct current according to the quick chargecurrent value and the quick charge voltage value, meanwhile, theelectronic device 200 detects the voltage of the battery 201. If thevoltage of the battery 201 is greater than a quick charge voltagethreshold (e.g., 4.35V), the electronic device 200 stops introducingdirect current from the power adapter 100 for charging the battery 201,and feeds back a quick charge stop command to the main control circuit107, and the main control circuit 107, according to the quick chargestop command, quits the quick charge mode and returns to theconventional charge mode.

As mentioned above, the charging control circuit 2 introduces directcurrent from the power adapter 1 through the communication interface 20of the electronic device 3 to charge the battery 31, which is realizedas follows. The main controller U6 outputs a control signal through itsfifth input/output pin RA4 for controlling the fourth NMOS transistor Q4and the fifth NMOS transistor Q5 to switch on, and controls the thirdNPN triode N3 to switch off through its tenth input/output pin RC3, soas to introduce direct current from the communication interface 10 ofthe power adapter 1 through a data cable for charging the battery 31. Asthe battery 31 itself already obtains direct current from the poweradapter 100 through the communication interface 20 of the electronicdevice 3, the direct current introduced by the charging control circuit2 can further increase the current charging the battery 31, thusenabling the quick charge to the battery 31. In contrast, when aconventional charge is needed for battery 31, the main controller U6controls the fourth NMOS transistor Q4 and the fifth NMOS transistor Q5to turn off by outputting a low level through its fifth input/output pinRA4, and controls the third NPN triode N3 to turn on by outputting ahigh level through its tenth input/output pin RC3.

Further, during the process in which the power adapter 1 works in thequick charge mode and the charging control circuit 2 introduces directcurrent from the power adapter 1 to charge the battery 31, if the powerline VBUS and the ground line GND of the communication interface 10 ofthe power adapter 1 are coupled to the ground line GND and the powerline VBUS of the communication interface 20 of the electronic device 3respectively (i.e., the power line VBUS and the ground line GND of thecommunication interface 10 of power adapter 1 are coupled to the groundterminal of the charging control circuit 2 and the source electrode ofthe fifth NMOS transistor Q5 respectively), which means that thecommunication interface 10 of the power adapter 1 is reversely coupledto the communication interface 20 of the electronic device 3, directcurrent is coupled to the ground terminal of charging control circuit 2,and the source electrode of fifth NMOS transistor Q5 is grounded. Inorder to prevent any damage to the components, as shown in FIG. 5, thecharging control circuit 2 may further include a sixth NMOS transistorQ6, a seventh NMOS transistor Q7 and a forty-first resistor R41.

The present disclosure also provides a charging apparatus for anelectronic device. The charging apparatus comprises the power adapter 1and the charging control circuit 2 described above.

After the power adapter 1 is powered on or reset, the power adapter 1switches off direct current output thereof and detects an output voltagethereof.

If the output voltage of the power adapter 1 is greater than a voltagethreshold, the power adapter 1 continues to judge the output voltagethereof;

If the output current of the power adapter 1 is within a conventionalcurrent range for a preset time period, the power adapter 1 performs aquick charge inquiry communication with the charging control circuit 2.

After the charging control circuit 2 sends a quick charge command to thepower adapter 1, the power adapter 1 adjusts the output voltage thereofaccording to battery voltage information fed back by the chargingcontrol circuit 2.
